Chapter 7

GG: "E's great escape has really got everyone talking. Rumour has it even her new BFFs Serena Van Der Woodson & Blair Waldorf did not know of sudden departure."

(Blair's POV)

I can't believe E. How could she just leave with out explanation? She was doing a Serena! I thought she slept with Nate or something. But apparently this has to do with her father! Even her worried parents didn't know, what was she thinking. She must have run back to London. I can't believe she left without saying goodbye.

(Will's POV)

God I can't believe I let Edie talk me into this. She is in big trouble. Mr Russo has raced home. My mother ranted at me, having a go at me for helping her, when I tried to lie to her. That I didn't help her, she knew better. Well she actually knows me better then I thought. She knows I would help Edie. So now I am grounded, but I don't care. I'll be back in England soon, and then I can see her.

I was on my way to Blair Waldorf's house. I know Serena would be there too. When I arrived and walked into the living room, Blair was glaring at me.

"Hey, Err. Edie told me to give you guys these."

I handed them both a letter each, from Edie. I was about to leave, Serena stood up.

"Will. Wait. Please stay. Can you tell us what happened?"

"Look I can't tell you the complete story but I can tell you what happened at the Palace."

Serena nodded and Blair gestured for me to sit.

"As you know, Edie is not allowed to see her grandmama. But she did. And she took Nate with her."

"Wait what? She took Nate? I thought you were her BFF" God that Blair could sure give a killer stare. She had jealously written all over her face.

"I am. But I was busy with the school, so she chose Nate."

I can't believe she chose him over me. She should know that I would have ditched the school to be with her. I wished she could see how much I love her.

"Anyway. Ethan had followed them. And he thought they were going to the Palace to sleep with each other. Once they had emerged into the hotel lobby, Ethan pounced and they security was called, Bart Bass called both sets of parents, and they arrived. Mr Russo found out about what Edie was doing, and then she had a go at him before leaving, then she came home to pack and left."

I stood up to leave. Blair stood up too.

"Will wait."

I turn to look at the girl, who I didn't really like. She came off very bitchy.

"Thank you."

"Anytime."

I left before I was harassed anymore.

The girls opened their letters. Then reading them to each other.

"Dear B,

Thank you for all your help, thank for being there for me. Understand about my illness. I am very thankful that you gave me a second chance. I sorry that I am leaving without saying goodbye, but I had to go. I love you B.

Edie x"

"Dear S,

You were the first friend I made, here in America. And you stuck by me, through the lie, thank you for being such a good friend. Your positive look on everything makes me smile. I am going miss you and B. love you S.

Edie x"

Both girls were left in tears. Though they had not known Edie for long, they loved her so. And we would do anything to help her. But now she was gone.

GG: "It has been said, that Papa Russo, has flown over to old Britannia in search for his runaway child. Watch out E, Papa Russo is here to take you to the New World."

Edie was living with her neighbour; she had begged him not to tell her parents. She was so happy to be home, home in Chelsea. Maybe not living in her house, but it was home.

Edie had woken up to the sound of crying. She got up and went downstairs for a drink; there she bumped into Frank Lampard & little Luna.

"Hey, did Luna wake you?"

"Yeah, but it's alright. Thanks for letting me stay here Frank."

"Anytime. But Edie. I think you should call home. Just let them know that you are safe."

"No if I did that. He would find me and drag me home."

"Ok. But just think about it ok. Elen is worried about you."

I nod and head back upstairs. Damn stupid footballer. He probably is right. I know Enrico would be worried sick about me. He wouldn't understand why his sister went away.

(Xavier's POV)

When Peyton came running down the stairs and told us that Jaxe had left. I panicked. I raced up the stairs to find most of her belongs gone. It then dawned on me that I had pushed my daughter over the edge. She was gone. And I know where too. London. It makes sense. My baby girl was in London all alone. No she was with that witch. She tore this family apart. It was her fault. I started to pack for London. I was going to fly out today. Peyton had sent the boys to school. Enrico was clearly mortified. Jaxe has always been there for him. Reading him stories like a real parent. When I return Peyton and I really need to sit down together and re-evaluate our parenting. Our children are a lot more damaged then we thought. I was packing when we got a visitor. Marie had shown her in. I ought to fire her. I cannot believe my daughter brought her silence. Jaxe really is trouble with a capital T. I was in the living room, packing my hand luggage. In walked Lily Van Der Woodson.

"Xavier."

"Lily. What brings you here? I am in a little rush."

"I need to talk to you. Before you leave, it is about your daughter."

"So you heard about my daughter's flee across the Atlantic?"

"Yes. Serena. Is very upset. Look I am sorry about this. But let me give you a little advice."

"I do not need your advice Lily."

"Xavier, just hear me out. I know what it is like to handle troublesome teen daughters. Serena's rebellion started early on. Look just let her be, let her stay…"

"What are you crazy?"

"Let me finish. You know she will be safe in England. She knows her way round. She has her best friend. Let her come back to you. She will return. Trust me. They always do. Just lay down some ground rules."

And with that Lily left. Compromise. Maybe that could work. I was just about to walk out of the door. When someone called my name, I turned and saw my beautiful wife.

"I'm going with you."

"Peyton. You don't have too."

"No I do. She is my daughter. This is my fault too."

"What about Ethan and Enrico?"

"I know. It will only be a few days."

I nodded my head and left for my home country.

(Chuck's POV)

It was only Day 2 without Edie and Nate, was already moping around. He sure did like the girl. I had called him over to my suite, at the Palace Hotel. Surely sweet memories for him. Ha I found hilarious when Ethan Russo thought Nate & his sister were sleeping with each other. But then again I guess I would have thought that. The two of them going up to a hotel room by themselves. But then again that's the kind of mind I have. Well I am Chuck Bass, after all. I was sick of him being like this. So I got him a gift. I handed him a scotch before telling him our plans for the next seven days.

"Nathaniel. Cheer up."

"What? I'm not unhappy."

"Sure. Your not. I can tell you miss Edie like crazy."

"That's an overstatement. I like Edie, as a friend."

"Yeah well now that is an understatement. I know how jealous you get when she is around that British guy that I didn't even bother remembering his name. The way he looks at her is sick."

"Wait you see it too? So I am not the only one."

"It is obvious. The only person who is oblivious to it all is Edie herself."

"Do you think he is in love with her?"

"Probably. It wouldn't surprise me. He seems to give up everything for her every need. Just watch it you have competition."

"Edie doesn't see him in that way. So it's not that much competition."

"So you do like her. Here take this."

I handed him an envelope. He opened it and raised an eyebrow.

"A plane ticket?"

"First class. To London. We fly tomorrow."

"What?"

"That's right. You & I are going to London for a few days."

"Chuck."

"Just say thank you. You'll get to see your chick."

"She's not mine."

"Not with that attitude. Now go home and pack."

(Nate's POV)

I can't believe Chuck got tickets to go to London. I need to get a hold of Edie. Maybe I could just surprise her. London here we come.

GG: Nate Archibald spotted at JFK, heading for the UK. Careful N, you're not the only Archibald heading for the UK.

You know you love me,
